Separate names with a comma.
So it's not clear to me if the pads are worn out or not. Most pads these days have noise makers on them that signal that there is only a minimal...
It should be perfectly safe to jump another Prius. I wonder if it would be ok to jump a conventional car just to charge its battery up a bit....
Before you go replacing those rotors, you might try several hard stops while in Neutral. You're such a careful driver that you just haven't used...
Non-hybrid vehicles have engines that are large enough to provide good acceleration. The engines are way overpowered in terms of maintaining...
I have no problem believing that a 2004 Prius with 400K miles still has the original traction battery (the big one). An original 12V battery in...

Before you conclude that the DC-DC converter is fried, check the fuses. There should be a 100 Amp fuse or fusible link that is blown. Plus a few...
Probably another fob somewhere inside the car. Under the seat, in the glove box, somewhere in the front.
The Gen2 and Gen3 keyfobs are not compatible. Both the electronic signaling and the mechanical keys are different.
